He's getting some pretty significant social media traction for the idea of his running.
It's not like he's the front-runner, (although he's as good as any of the perceived field at the moment) but it's pretty obvious there's a non insignificant segment of the masses behind him.

This. He is a moron who should never have been given a voice by the left. But since he is part of #theresistance here we are.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said Thursday he has referred attorney Michael Avenatti and client Julie Swetnick -- who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct during confirmation proceedings -- for criminal investigation regarding a potential “conspiracy” to provide false statements to Congress and obstruct its investigation.
I'm waiting to see this twist:
"omg the republicans are now pushing to investigate the alleged VICTIM of an assault instead of the suspect"
Just watch.

I never even thought of that angle, but it's very plausible lol!

Looks like someone actually beat me to it.
someone should point out that she herself never claimed to be a victim of Kavanaugh....
I am looking forward to the media pretending that they never rolled out the red carpet for Avenatti.
Also, do you all remember Christine Ford? Neither do the democrats.

A few will lose their minds and call you a rapist protector or something.

Funny how quickly she's being forgotten now that she isn't politically useful.
So the Kavanaugh accusers are now known liars that purposefully attempted to rig the process ---- what a disgrace. Hope they get prison time; hope the dem ringleaders get the same.
I don't see anywhere where the woman who was the primary accuser and testified in front of congress has changed her story at all. Saying "the Kavanaugh accusers" are liars is accurate.

Everyone gave up on caring about it pretty quick though... And it is a FACT that the media and the dem congress withheld valuable info that would have cleared Kavanaugh from most of the other bullshit allegations.

The fact that her story doesn't add up and she immediately announced she wasn't going to pursue it any further once Kavanaugh was confirmed, leads me to believe she is/was full of shit.

How exactly does this media conspiracy work. In order for it to be able to pull off stunts like supressing vital information, you would have to have thousands of people who are in compliance and sworn to secrecy for life. How in the world has that feat been pulled off?

Are you kidding? They find out information and then don't report it because it doesn't fit their narrative. NBC knew the 2nd Avennetti allegation was bullshit and sat on it until they got called out. It isn't a vast conspiracy, they just don't report what doesn't help them. If you don't think the media is a complete joke, you have issues.

Yeah, it's not collaborative. It's not like all the news outlets get together in a huddle where someone goes, "Okay, guys. Here's what we're gonna do: We're gonna suppress these three things, because they make our assumed agreed-on candidates/leaders look bad. Instead, we're gonna put this bullshit out there, because it will help our assumed agreed-on candidates/leaders."
In reality, they're individually saying to themselves, "I'M RICH, BIYOTCH!"

The number of people who would have to keep quiet about that as an actual cover-up makes it functional untenable. All it would take would be one person blabbing (but realistically, there would be far more than one with the number who would necessarily be involved in the cover-up).
It's the same reason that it would be dumb for anyone to think 9/11 was an inside job. The sheer number of people who would have to be involved in not only the execution, but the cleanup, analysis, etc. afterward.
If you have a secret that needs kept between three people, all of whom have a direct vested interest in it being kept, then it's plausible.
If you have a secret that needs kept between a few thousand, it's not a secret, and it won't be kept. It's implausible to the level of being functionally impossible.
Get ready for another left-wing meltdown.

Because of RBG's new cancer news? Hasn't she beat cancer like a dozen times now? Gotta give her credit for her persistence.
As for a meltdown, not yet. If she passes near (or after) the election, look for Democrats to try to do the same thing Republicans did that ultimately resulted in Gorsuch's appointment.
